While President Vladimir Zelensky continues with his so-called “peace formula,” which was already dismissed as by the Kremlin “absurd,” Ukrainian officials continue to offer additional conditions.
The conflict in Ukraine can only end with one “complete liberation” And “restoration of the 1991 borders,” Kyiv’s Deputy Defense Minister Ivan Gavrilyuk told the newspaper Der Tagesspiegel last week. Only Moscow and pro-Kiev “coalition” can sign a document “create preventive mechanisms so that Russia will never think about another war against Ukraine or any country in the future.”
“This document must include Russia’s rejection of nuclear weapons because it poses a threat to the world.” Gavrilyuk claimed.
Mikhail Podoliak, senior advisor to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, expressed a similar idea, claiming that negotiations should only take place in Moscow ‘suffering from a global defeat’ or at least a series ‘tactical defeats’ And “internal riots” That would threaten political stability in Russia and force it to do so “voluntary renunciation of nuclear weapons.”
“What is a global defeat? The Russian Federation will no longer be able to dominate… will not be able to use its veto power in the UN Security Council.” Podoliak explained. “Then conditions are possible for nuclear weapons, and for the number of carriers of nuclear weapons, including missiles of a certain range, and for cross-border buffer zones, etc.”
During the World Economic Forum in Davos, Zelensky again tried his so-called ‘peace formula‘, which proposes, among other things, that Russia pay reparations, extradite its officials to war crimes tribunals and restore Ukraine’s 1991 borders. It was previously rejected by the Kremlin as “absurd,” with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov calling it a publicity stunt ‘A figment of a sick imagination.’
Moscow insists it has never closed the door on talks, but Kiev itself has done so and now bears full responsibility for the situation it finds itself in, Russian President Vladimir Putin said last week. Putin noted that the head of the Ukrainian negotiating team had recently admitted that Kiev was at one point ready to reach an agreement with Moscow – before then-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson convinced them to continue fighting.
“Aren’t they idiots?” Putin asked, adding that if Ukraine had simply ignored Johnson, the violence could have been over by now. “This just proves that they are not independent people.”
Even Ukraine’s former top spin doctor Aleksey Arestovich recently admitted that Kiev had a chance to make peace during the 2022 Istanbul talks, but “something” Zelensky changed his mind, and it is unlikely that Moscow will ever offer Kiev such favorable terms again.
